Depends. Looks like some pretty big ADR rims but until you provide the actual diameter and width measurement in your post... who knows...?

Best bet is to go to the http://www.tirerack.com site and look up the same size rims for an MX-3 (doesn't hafta be ADR but the size specs need to be a match to your ADR's) and see what comes up from tirerack for the corresponding recommended tire spec with that size rim.

ummm depends what size rims you have? are those 17's? if so, you can try 205/40/17, that's what i've got on mine

If this is the link you're talking about, then no the bolt pattern will not fit on our car. You're looking for 4x100 bolt pattern.

As for Tire size, it is a 17" rim... most people go with 205/40/17 or 215/40/17

sorry guys but now can someone take some full shots so i can see if i like the look of the sidewalls im undecided?

what you mean? Like a pic from the front of it because the side wall does not stick out. I got very stiff tires. I would recommend getting these tires. The hook great and stick to the road. Auto cross proved it

. But in a few hours when i go home i can take some straight shots of the tire if you like not a side shot like that. Is that what you want?

215/40/17 is the correct size for a 17x7" rim, any larger and you'll be sorry, any smaller and you'll not find a shop that will put them on without scratching your rims.
